Bankrupt Your Opponents to Win
We’ve been forced to play the real-life version of a game we can’t win and the government wants us to unite.
No one gets a head start in the game of Monopoly. We begin our journey with $1500, equal pay for passing GO, and the rules are fixed. We know what we’re getting into and we don’t have to play, but in the real-life version rolling the dice isn’t optional; we have to play.
Even the most intelligent players struggle to compete against those born into wealth. The odds are stacked against us. We have to borrow money from the banker just to play, and the rules aren’t in our favor nor are they fair, but we must hurry because assets and money are limited; you’re either paying someone else’s mortgage or someone is paying yours, but we’re all paying the banker.
While the idea is to bankrupt competitors and become the wealthiest player, we’ll never be the real winner; the banker. So, we compete with each other because that’s America; fighting each other for survival while the banker sits peacefully atop a mound of riches, watching us play by their rules at a game we can’t win.
The game of Monopoly or the pitiful existence of an American?
